One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London

funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

3.5

Successful plus-sized fashion blogger Bea Schumacher has everything in life but love. When her favorite Bachelorette-inspired reality show wants her to be the star, she says yes on one condition. She absolutely will not fall in love. Instead, Bea aims to inspire women by subverting the expected beauty standards and building her career. But the further along Bea gets, the more she wonders if happily-ever-after might actually be possible.

Mixing a charming romantic comedy with heartfelt commentary on harmful beauty standards, One to Watch was an excellent summer romance to read. Bea is a relatable heroine, independent and confident most of the time and yet she still struggles with those insecurities that are difficult to eradicate. A quick read, One to Watch would be the perfect uplifting beach read to pack for your next vacation.
